As the specialist noted, in the last week the dollar has consolidated at a level of about 70 rubles, the euro - above 76 rubles per unit.
Next week, according to the analyst, the trend towards a gradual weakening of the national currency will continue.
“The key event for the ruble will be the embargo on Russian oil products by the EU and the price ceiling for these products by the United States.
These sanctions against the oil sector of Russia are introduced simultaneously with 5 February.
It is expected that initially the export of oil products from Russia will decrease, which will put pressure on the national currency.
The dollar can grow to 71-72 rubles, the euro - to the level of 77-79 rubles per unit, ”concluded Deev.
Earlier, investor Fyodor Sidorov named the reasons for the growth of the euro.
